KEEP VISIBLE




I'll never know

why I had to go

why I had to put up

such a lousy, rotten show



boy, I was tough

packin' all my stuff

sayin' I don't need you

anymore I've had enough



and now look at me

standing here again

'cause I found out that

ma – ma,.

my life is here

gotta have you near



As good as new

my love for you

and keepin' it that

way is my intention

as good as new

and growin' too

yes, I think it's

takin' on a new dimension



it's as good as new

my love for you

just like it used

to be and even better

as good as new

thank god, it's true

darling, we were

always meant to stay together



Feel like a creep

never felt so cheap

never had a notion

that my love could be so deep



how could I make

such a dumb mistake

now I know I'm

not entitled to another break



but please, baby

I beg you to forgive

'cause I found out that

ma – ma,

my life is here

gotta have you near



As good as new

my love for you

and keepin' it that

way is my intention

as good as new

and growin' too

yes, I think it's

takin' on a new dimension



it's as good as new

my love for you

just like it used

to be and even better

as good as new

thank god, it's true

darling, we were

always meant to stay together



I thought that our love

was at an end

but here I am again



As good as new

my love for you

and keepin' it that

way is my intention

as good as new

and growin' too

yes, I think it's

takin' on a new dimension



it's as good as new

my love for you

just like it used

to be and even better

as good as new

thank god, it's true

darling, we were

always meant to stay together



Yes the love I have for you

feels as good as new

darling, we were

always meant to stay together


As Good As New

Released in 1979 on the album *Voulez-Vous*, "As Good As New" stands as a quintessential example of ABBA's late-period pop craftsmanship. The track exemplifies the group's signature blend of lush orchestration, melodic hooks, and intricate vocal harmonies that defined their discography during the early 1980s. While the song shares thematic elements with their earlier work, it reflects a matured approach to songwriting and production, maintaining the infectious energy that made ABBA global icons. Its enduring appeal lies in its perfect balance of romantic sentiment and danceable rhythm, cementing its place within the Swedish pop canon and continuing to resonate with audiences decades later.
